Is suicide selfish?!
Question:
Is suicide selfish?
Why does everyone say a person id selfish for think of suicide? They tell me " think how it will affect others." but, if I'm supposed to worry about everyone else, then, who worries about me. If others are allow to say " I'm counting on you to...." who do I get to say that to. they don't say the others are selfish for wanting to rely on me. So why am I selfish to want some one to rely on when I need attention or help or someone to talk to.
Answers:
I think most people don't understand depression, and suicidal thoughts. It leads them to say silly things that only illustrate how misinformed they are about how it feels to want to kill yourself.
Suicide is destruction of the self, against our most hard-wired instinct: self-preservation. Anyone who describes it as a selfish act just wants to sound important and superior.
